- Fluids can be chemically single-substance liquids or solutions or mixtures of such liquids. Fluids can also be composed of liquids containing dissolved chemical substances. The solvent is then the carrier for the chemical active compound dissolved therein, which gets into the pores of the shaped article with, and by means of, this solvent when the shaped article is subjected to the action of the fluid and its pores are thereby filled up with this fluid.
- Fluids can also be composed of liquids containing chemical active compounds in a dispersed or emulsified form.

- Fluids can also contain, as the active compound, two or more chemically different substances, either dissolved, dispersed or emulsified.
- fluids is also intended, by extension, to embrace pastes and gels in which the liquid component thereof is the fluid in the narrower sense, since only this component penetrates into the pores of the film according to the invention when this film is subjected to the action of, or brought into contact with, the paste or gel.
- suitable gels are those based on agarose. They can have a water content of, for example, approximately 300%, relative to the weight of the gel-forming polymer.
- the aqueous fraction of the gel contains a dissolved chemical active compound, for example, scopolamine or nitroglycerin derivatives.
- the pores of the shaped article can be charged with fluid by, for example, immersing this shaped article in a tank full of the fluid. After being taken out of the tank, the shaped article can be freed from excess fluid situated on its surface, for example, by being scraped, squeezed or wiped.
- All the pores of the film are initially filled with fluid in the manner indicated above.
- the structure of the film is then modified within a segmentary region of the latter, for example, by allowing acetone vapor to act on the film.
- Fluid is contained in the film in an immobilized form within the structurally modified segmentary region of the film.
- the mask has openings of various shapes, for example, a grid composed of rectangular apertures.
- Acetone vapor is then allowed to act on the mask in such a way that the region of the film not covered by the mask is subjected to the action of the acetone. If saturated acetone vapor is used, the structural modification of the segmentary region of film which has been treated takes place within about 30 to 60 seconds.
- the mask is then removed from the film and the fluid is eluted from the open pores of the film by means of a suitable liquid eluant.
- the fluid contained in the structurally modified segmentary regions of the film is not thereby eluted from the film.
- the film is then treated in the manner indicated in order to refill its remaining pores with fluid.
- the fluid used in the second process stage differs chemically from that used in the first process stage.
- the structure of the film is then modified in the manner indicated above.
- the product then contains two fluids, differing chemically from one another, each in definite regions of the film, for example, in order to incorporate in a film two substances which are in themselves incompatible.
- the process can also be carried out in such a way that, after the film has first been charged with fluid within segmentary regions of itself, the structural modification is carried out in such a way that the entire film is structurally modified.
- the product of the process is then a transparent film containing immobilized fluid within a discrete region.
- liquid, volatile aroma substances or solutions containing dissolved aroma substances are used as the fluid, or if liquid, volatile insecticides or solutions containing the latter are employed as the fluid, these fluids are temporarily immobilized in the film after it has been structurally modified.
- the chemical active compounds described emerge slowly by diffusion from the film which is virtually homogeneous physically, or from the segmentary regions thereof and, once outside the latter, they develop the desired action. This action has a long duration, corresponding to the rate of diffusion of the substances.
- a film according to the invention which contains immobilized fluids of this type, can be used in the field of reproduction technology or can be employed for photographic processes.
- the color or the intensity of color of regions of film which appear virtually homogeneous physically and transparent as a result of structural modification in the manner indicated and which, if appropriate, contain immobilized fluid, corresponds to the color or intensity of color of the fluids contained in them or to the color-imparting chemical substances in these fluids.
- the selectively permeable film according to the invention is thus not only characterized by an oleophilic/oleophobic polymer structure, in terms of molecular distribution, which enables it to be used in a very wide variety of media--including corrosive media--and, for example, minimizes undesirable interactions (for example, the formation of a coating).
- the selectively permeable film can, in addition, be adjusted in a controlled manner by the casting process as well as by subsequent modification of its structure, to have a very wide range of permeabilities over an extremely wide pore range from virtually homogeneous to effective pore diameters of 10 ⁇ m.
- a film as a temporary depot and envelope for drugs, catalysts, enzymes, insecticides, dyestuffs, liquid crystals or corrosion inhibitors or for covering sterilized goods.
- aqueous, buffered suspension containing 50 mg of pilocarpine was poured into a bag made of 5 cm 2 of a film according to the invention, composed of copolymer (3), and the bag was tightly closed. The bag was then exposed for 30 seconds to a saturated atmosphere of acetone vapor. In the course thereof, the initially white film became opaque-translucent. This process was accompanied by a definite contraction of the pores and thus a desirable adjustment of their permeability. The bag was then introduced into 100 ml of a stirred buffer solution and was suspended in the latter. The kinetics of the release of the drug from the bag into the surrounding liquid were measured. After a start-up phase, the required constant zero order kinetics were established at a release rate of 16 mg of active compound per week.
- a reprographic and optical information carrier for example, for photocopies using wet and dry toners (in particular for overhead projection), as a drawing film, as a substrate for reprographic films (in particular as a support for photoactive substances), as a thermopaper (for example, for thermocopiers), as a "mask" for retrieval of texts and optical information, for screening light-sensitive layers for a limited period (for example, film and photographic material), or conversely for exposing electro-optical or reactive systems for a limited period, for rendering visible for a definite period information, objects or rooms, or as an indicator of vapors and fluids and of specific temperatures.
- a 50 ⁇ m thick white layer of a terpolymer film as specified in (4) or (3) on polyester film (Hostaphan 100 ⁇ m) was inscribed on an overhead projector with a felt pencil impregnated with dodecane.
- a presentation pattern which was transparent or reproduced the color of the film and which had sharp outlines was formed on a white substrate. After transmitting the desired information, this presentation pattern disappeared after a few minutes, so that the film could be used again.
- a 30 ⁇ m thick white layer of terpolymer film as specified in (5) was subjected to wet toning in conformity with a technical test original on a photocopying machine (Infotec 1801) and was then fixed by heat at about 90° C.
- a scratchproof, transparent film was formed, which was distinguished by very high resolution power for the test lines and was suitable as an original for overhead projection.
- a membrane filter or ultra-filter for working-up (separating, concentrating or purifying) aerosols, dispersions, emulsions or dissolved or colloidal macromolecules in aqueous or gaseous systems, for example, for separating physiological liquids such as blood (hemofiltration, plasmapheresis and the like), milk or whey, or solutions from fermentative processes:
- a membrane made of copolymer as specified in (3) was applied to a sheet of glass from a 20% strength polymer solution in dimethylacetamide by means of a doctor (slot height 150 ⁇ m) and was coagulated in water warmed to 40° C. After a dwell time of 15 minutes in the precipitation bath, the membrane was treated with 40% strength by weight of glycerol and was dried for 10 minutes at 100° C. The membrane, which was 60 ⁇ m thick, was stripped off the sheet of glass and its permeability at 1 bar was tested in a stirred test cell.
- film bags or tubular bags can be prepared from them in a simple manner. This is done, for example, by placing two pieces of film, each of the same shape and dimensions, on top of one another in such a way that their edges are aligned. The pieces of film are then welded to one another in the region of their edges. In doing this, a bag open on one side is formed first, this bag is filled with material and is then closed in the manner indicated. If a piece of tube is used, this is first closed at one of its ends, its cavity is then filled with material, and the piece of tube is then also closed at the other end. Closure is effected in each case by welding.
- FIGS. I and II The subject matter of the invention will be illustrated using FIGS. I and II as examples.
- a supporting film 1 is shown as a base layer upon which there is located a porous film 2 having an exposed surface 3.
- Reference numeral 4 denotes the interface between the porous film 3 and the supporting film 1.
- reference numeral 5 denotes a film having a virtually homogeneous physical structure, with 6 being its surface.
- the film 5 is shown in a state in which it is virtually stripped off from the plastic supporting film 7.
- liquid film or “liquid tubular structure” is intended to have the meaning “film composed of liquid” or “tubular structure composed of liquid”, respectively.
